What's the best HARDCORE Food Processor/Blender?-making Icing Sugar/grinding Nuts etc

I have just got mine in June and its great. Works a treat in soup, whipping skimmed milk up, mixing cake mixture etc etc. The goodfood show has bamix stand and there are great demonstrations with it. Only problem I have is when making buttercream icing it seems to work the mixture too hard and it goes solid and doesnt seem to mix anymore?!

I have a "Daily" which was the US version of Bamix, but if it broke, I'd buy a Bamix, no question.

I'm so glad lilibeth is enjoying her Bamix - I was going to say try a KitchenAid which is supposed to do nuts and ice easily, so probably would do sugar too. I had an early Bamix and couldn't get on with it. I mentioned this to Lakeland in a questionnaire they sent (I bought it over 10 years ago) and they rang me up and said they would refund the money if I sent it back. It was so old they hadn't even got it in their catalogue and had very little recollection of what it cost. But they refunded me about £90 anyway. Which for something I'd long ago written off and was sitting in a drawer was fabulous customer service I think. So I was going to say that if you buy your Bamix through Lakeland and it doesn't do what it says I think they would refund the money....hope it does all the things you want it to Lilibeth - I thinnk mine was an older and much less powerful model and it never seemed to make the yummy things described in the little book properly !
